In the research, 'Heartland Forgiveness Scale', 'Cognitive Flexibility Inventory' and The 'Psychological Well-Being Scale' and 'Personal Information Form' were used to determine the demografic information of the participants as data collection tools. This research was designed according to the correlational design, one of the quantitative research models. The easily accessible case sampling method, one of the sampling methods, was used. Research data were collected online. SPSS in the analysis of data obtained with data collection tools 25.0 program and Hayes' PROCESS 4.0 macro used. Before the analysis of the data, the normality test was performed to determine whether the scores obtained from the scales showed a normal distribution. Relationships between variables were revealed by Pearson correlation analysis, and then mediation analyzes were started. It was determined that there were positive significant relationships. Self Forgiveness predicts cognitive flexibility, cognitive flexibility predicts psychological well-being and that self-forgiveness predicts psychological well-being was found to predict well-being. Also, self-forgiveness and the mediating role of cognitive flexibility between psychological well-being has been determined. These findings are in conjunction with similar studies discussed and made recommendations to researchers and practitioners has been found. All this information expands the literature on positive psychology and brings new findings to the literature. Considering the variables of self-forgiveness and cognitive flexibility instead of focusing on only one variable in studies focusing on psychological well-being, approaching them from a holistic perspective will contribute to mental health professionals.

Öz

Bu çalışmada, kendini affetme ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkisinde bilişsel esnekliğin aracı rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırma 215 kadın ve 176 erkek katılımcı olmak üzere toplamda 391 kişi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların yaşları 23-61 arasında değişmekte olup, yaş ortalaması 37,19'dur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, 'Heartland Affetme Ölçeği', 'Bilişsel Esneklik Envanteri' ve 'Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği' kullanılmış ayrıca katılımcıların demografik bilgilerini belirlemek amacıyla 'Kişisel Bilgi Formu' kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırma, nicel araştırma modellerinden biri olan ilişkisel desene göre tasarlanmıştır. Katılımcılar belirlenirken örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama araçları ile elde edilen verilerin analizinde SPSS 25.0 programı ve Hayes'in PROCESS 4.0 makrosu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizine geçmeden önce ölçeklerden elde edilen puanların normal dağılım gösterip göstermediğini belirlemek için normallik testi yapılmıştır. Pearson korelasyon analizi ile değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler ortaya çıkarılmış ve ardından aracılık analizlerine geçilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, kendini affetme ile bilişsel esneklik arasında, bilişsel esneklik ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasında ve kendini affetme ile psikolojik iyi oluş arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kendini affetmenin bilişsel esnekliği yordadığı, bilişsel esnekliğin psikolojik iyi oluşu yordadığı ve kendini affetmenin psikolojik iyi oluşu yordadığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca kendini affetme ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasında bilişsel esnekliğin aracı rolü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular benzer çalışmalarla birlikte tartışılmış, araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Tüm bu bulgular pozitif psikolojiyle ilgili literatürü genişletmekte ve literatüre yeni bulgular kazandırmaktadır. Psikolojik iyi oluşa odaklanan çalışmalarda araştırmacıların sadece bir değişkene odaklanmak yerine kendini affetme ve bilişsel esneklik değişkenlerini de dikkate alarak bütünsel bir bakış açısıyla yaklaşmaları ruh sağlığı uzmanlarına katkı sağlayacaktır.
